Surnames: Beer, Beers Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/0dB.2ACI/4115 Message Board Post: I am trying to identify the names of the wife, sons, and daughters of this William Beer who appears on the 1840 census in Paint, Venango County, PA. The census references 1 male between 40 and 50, 1 male between 15 and 20, and 1 male between 5 and 10, with 3 females under the age of 5, 1 female between 5 and 10, 1 female between 10 and 15, 1 female between 15 and 20, and 1 female between 30 and 40. It is possible that this may be the same William Beer who is found in Jefferson Co PA in the 1830 census. I have a Sarah A Beers born 1800/1801 who is found in Allegheny City, Allegheny Co, PA from 1850 until her death in 1879. Directories note that she is the widow of a William. She has known daughters Margaret b abt 1835, Eliza b 1837, Matilda b abt 1843, Lavina b abt 1844, and a possible daughter Maria b abt 1832. Looking into the possibility that this William was married to my Sarah.
